Inspired by a “wait what did Dean really take Charlie’s lead and attempt a flirtation with that dude?!” moment while rewatching
Here’s his face when he realises what’s going on with Charlie and cute elf girl:
If that’s not a “wait what are you – oh my god you can do that?” moment…
After spending half my rewatch notes talking about how Moondoor is a safe queer space I guess Dean cottoned on too, and thought, hey, if Charlie can do it I could at least try… Then of course we have the “Come to my tent” parallel with Charlie succeeding, “Gholandria the Wicked” striking out with Sam with the same proposition, and finally “Boltar” telling Dean to go back to Charlie’s tent as his way of shutting down Dean’s attempt to be friendly. Or, like… friendly, if you assume these are all parallels.
I was wondering why Sam and Charlie both got a moment which paralleled each other in these moments of picking up/attempting to be picked up by the cute girls at the fair, but not Dean… up until he looked Boltar up and down like that. 😛
